Mine wouldn't idle once: had crap in the idle circuit somewhere. She still drove, but was really rough (stuttering) when you were not on the accelerator. On the highway and when accelerating, the idle circuit isn't important, and she drove fine.

Good luck mate.

hey guys, thanks for your help 🙂
especially wes, you LEGEND!!

i talked to someone today who said it sounds like a blocked idle jet so i'm gonna have another squiz when i get home tonight (i'm still at work 🙁 ) and see whats goin on

I didn't sleep in the coles carpark. don't think I would have wanted to do that. an angry lil italian man came over to me, stressing the importance of not getting oil on his precious car park, lol!

i caught the train to work today, to be on the safe side, need to catch it back now, but I'm thinkin tomorrow I'll just drive the ole girl and see how she goes (you'll hear from me if she doesn't! lol)

ah volkswagens.... don't ya just love em?
I DO!!! 😀

I had the same problem with my car. Turned out to be a blocked idle jet. I took the carby to a carby specialist who cleaned it out for $40. It ran beautifully after that.
